They get decommissioned but can be reconstructed from Jigdo files and
the big package archive.

Go to the ../jigdo-cd or ../jigdo-dvd directory and download from there.

For example download
  https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/7.0.0/ia64/jigdo-cd/debian-7.0.0-ia64-CD-1.jigdo
  https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/7.0.0/ia64/jigdo-cd/debian-7.0.0-ia64-CD-1.template
and use program jigdo-lite to create an ISO from them and the many old
packages which jigdo-lite will download.
See
  https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

If jigdo-lite is not yet installed and you have a running Debian system
at hand:
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install jigdo-file

If not, get jigdo-lite for your system.
Download hints including source code and MS-Windows binaries are at:
  https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/#download
Or get a current Debian Live ISO to have a running Debian system:
  https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive

An example what to do when jigdo-lite is installed is given by
  https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#If_needed.2C_work_around_a_shortcoming_of_older_jigdo-lite
and the following paragraphs.


Have a nice day :)
